The breakfast club, directed by John Hughes, (videorecording)

Five high school students-- a Rebel, an Athlete, a Brain, a Princess and a Basketcase-- find themselves thrown together serving a Saturday morning detention. They do not have much in common, except giving up their day, sitting in the school library, and writing an essay for the principal. At first, they argue and hate each other, but after smoking some of the Rebel's marijuana, they begin to pour their hearts out to each other. They talk about their fears, secrets, deepest emotions, and problems

Special features include: Accepting the facts: The breakfast club trivia track; Sincerely yours (12-part documentary, cast members reflect on the making of the film, filmmakers discuss the cultural resonance of the film); The most convenient definitions: the origins of the Brat Pack (cast members, journalists and film historians discuss the "Brat Pack" label and its impact on pop culture and the groups careers); feature commentary with Anthony Michael Hall and Judd Nelson; theatrical trailer
